7. A most evil number, whose perfection is impossible to attack. – Aleister Crowley, Liber 777, 1909.
Ruth Harker (Alicia Witt) was the diabolical 7th She in Longlegs (2024), a nod to Master Therion’s qabala. Witt was cast in the role because of her appearance in David Lynch’s Twin Peaks (1990-1991, 2017), a series all about doubles and duality. Easter egg: the lyrics to “Crimson and Clover” (1968) by Tommy James and the Shondells describe Longlegs and Ruth’s meeting and relationship to a tee.
